As always, I want to thank you for the well wishes for me and my mother. She is getting over her pneumonia and she says 'hi' to everyone.
I'm writing away on Inflame, Kiln's book, (Phoenix Rising #3). Meanwhile, I was invited to do an interview for a podcast with the International Writers Association. Robert Moore, the host of the podcast, put me instantly at ease. It was a lot of fun and I can't thank him enough for inviting me.

Once upon a time, there
was a girl who had a 2014 Mazda 2. Now, if you know anything about these little
motherfuckers, you know there’s only one outside lock AND the lock/unlock
buttons are situated on the middle console. These little cars are adorable, made
for the girl in question. It’s small and eye-catching. And red, the girl’s
favorite color. It’s little but badass and packs one helluva punch.

One night, the girl’s
mother received a call.

Licensed from Adobestock.com

Bl-riiiinnnggg.

“Hello?”

“Mama?”

“Yeah?”

“I locked my keys in
the car.”

The girl’s mama groaned,
partly annoyed and kinda amused. Mama had told the girl to get a spare key AND
to stop leaving her keys in the glove compartment.

OR ELSE…..DISASTER!

As predicted, just what
the fuck the girl’s mama said would happen, did.

Sooo, Mama dragged her
fucking ass downstairs and found the girl and her friends with a lockout kit.
EXCEPT…No one knew how to use the motherfucker.

Defeated, the girl and
her friends went up to her bedroom. Mama had already left, after begging the
girl to let her try with her trust hairpin and screwdriver. The girl vehemently
denied her mother, afraid Mama would fuck up the car in some shape or form.

About half an hour
after the keys were locked in, Mama’s phone rang again.

Bl-riiiinnnggg.

“Mama?”

“Uh-huh?”

“You can try your way.”

Pleased, Mama jumped
up, cell phone in hand. “Okay. I’m on it.”

Mama’s tried and true
method for picking locks were screw drivers and hairpins. Now, see, Mama had
picked various locks in her house. She didn’t use her skill for anything
illegal. She’d learned how to engage the tumbler with her weapon of choice to
break into bedrooms, bathrooms, the a/c closet, and safes that no longer had
keys.

Mama and one of the
girl’s younger sisters brought their fucking asses out into the hot humid
night, around 10:00PM. For fifteen minutes, Mama tried her method. It was
hotter than a motherfucker and she was growing frustrated. When she broke into
the safe, it took her an hour, but she was inside, not in such a high-pressure
situation. Here and now, neither hairpin or screw driver worked. Mama stopped
and Googled how to break into a car without keys. A wire hanger was suggested,
so Dumb Ass AKA Mama sent the girl’s younger sister inside for a wire hanger.
Another fifteen minutes of alternating between hanger, screw driver, and
hairpin commenced. Sometimes, Mama used all three at once.

In the meantime, Mama
was so frustrated the car was no longer named Quinn. It was now known as
Motherfucking Pain in the Fucking Ass Miserable Little Motherfucker with a
Fucked-up Design.

Cars sped by.
Eventually, one slowed down and paused right across the street, the driver
intently staring. The girl’s younger sister started to get nervous.

“Oh, fucking, please.
They wouldn’t shoot us. Why the fuck would we be making all this goddamn noise
if we’re trying to break into this motherfucker? Let the police come! Please,
Jesus, send the police.”

So saying, the girl’s
sister and Mama started to plot, wondering if the girl’s sister should go
inside and call 911 and say someone was breaking into her sister’s car because,
clearly, Mama was in distress and the girl’s sister was scared and desperate.

Before Mama could knock
down that idea, the girl’s sister said, “Could we get into trouble for that?”

“Fuck yeah!” Mama
snarled. “Fuck it. We’ll do this ourselves. If the police come, then we can get
help.”

Mama decided to use the
lockout kit. For the next 90 minutes, Mama struggled with the screw driver,
hairpin, wire hanger, and lockout kit.

“Mama, it’s starting to
rain,” the girl’s younger sister said, pointing to huge drops of water on the
car door.

“No, it isn’t about to
fucking rain. My ass is sweating that fucking much.” That’s how intense Mama’s
labor was.

The struggle continued.

The girl’s sister who’d
been keeping Mama company, grew tired. She shoved Mama’s cell phone they’d been
using as a flashlight, to Mama. “Mama, can I sit on the hood of your car.”

Mama shrugged from her
stooped position, attempting to situate the much- needed flashlight and her
weapon of choice at that moment. “Sure. Go for it.”

Between wiping the
sweat from her brow, cursing the little motherfucking car, hoping a neighbor
called the police (after all, to the naked eye, it should appear as if an
attempt at Grand Theft Auto was taking place), Mama stood. She stared at the
lock on the door as if the motherfucker would magically open. Or she could will
it to fucking open. Or a motherfucking genie would appear and open the
motherfucker.

No such luck!

The girl’s sister began
her journey to the hood of Mama’s car.

Mama soon became aware
that the girl’s sister was having problems.

She couldn’t seem to
make it to the hood.

Bounce.

Hop.

Roll over. Clutch the
hood and hold on for dear life while bracing her foot above the wheel well.

Now, Mama isn’t fucking
fond of the fucking dark. She’s a wuss. A chicken. A wimp. A pussy. And you
know what? She’s damn proud of it!

Alone in the dark
night, Mama became aware of every little sound. One of her biggest fear is
snakes. They are known to inhabit the area. She imagined snakes slithering.
Salamanders darting about. Frogs hopping. And winged creatures swooping down to
eat her alive.

Something moved in the
grass!

Mama dropped her shit,
sprang to the back bumper of the car, and peeped around. Finding no danger
beyond her overactive imagination, Mama tipped back to the door and went back
to work.

Meanwhile, the girl’s
sister came out again about ten minutes later, holding the keys to Mama’s car.

“I’m sitting inside the
car while you open the door.”

Oh yeah, this was about
a fucking locked door, huh?

Offering a single nod,
Mama swore never to tell a soul of her nightmarish ordeal of hearing slithers
in the grass.

An hour passed. The
screwdriver became stuck in the lock. Then the hairpin.

Mama looked on YouTube
and found a video on how to unlock a Mazda 2. It lasted about one minute and
thirty-four seconds. The man in the video used something that mama couldn’t
fucking see and what looked like a nail file and…..TADA….opened the door like a
pro. Well, it turned out he WAS a pro. He was a fucking LOCKSMITH. If he didn’t
know how to fucking open that door, he needed to go sit the fuck down
somewhere.

Back to YouTube. Mama
found out how to use the pump in the lockout kit to pry open the door.

Finally, a modicum of
success! The door was pried open. Mama and the girl’s sister alternated between
trying to reach the unlock/lock button in the middle console with the long rod (that
had been nice and curved but was bent and twisted and kinda straightened) and
going for the manual lock and handle on the upper door.

The rod was too short
to open and they couldn’t maneuver the rod to the manual lock. They did reach
the handle and managed to pull it open with the rod, but since the manual lock
was still in the lock position, NOTHING happened.

Frustrated to fuck,
Mama tried to get to the lock, but kept reaching the fucking handle instead.

Suddenly….SUDDENLY…it
happened. A car drove up and two guys got out. Without hesitation, they headed
in Mama’s direction.

The cavalry! Saviors!
Rescuers!

After fifteen fucking
minutes, they decided it might be easier to go through the passenger side and
open the glove compartment to fish out her keys. Mama pumped up the door again.
It took the rescuers (who Mama was sure were the next door neighbor’s son and
his friend) all of ten minutes to finesse (their word) the door open. Another
five had the glove compartment open. Another five minutes and the keys had been
fished out.

HALLELEJAH!

The ordeal was over.

Mama took the key and
ran to the driver’s side door to open it.

Wouldn’t you know it?
The motherfucker didn’t work.

Mama had fucked up the
door.

I won't take too much of your time. I'm just so excited that Misled is finally out in audio. For me, my journey began at the beginning of the year. I've flip-flopped for months, YEARS, about whether I should have the Death Dwellers made into audiobooks. You guys kept asking, though, so I couldn't continue to ignore the requests. With an extra nudge from a friend who messaged me and said she'd really love to see Misled on audio, I finally did what I needed to do.

I think my hesitancy stemmed from not knowing if a narrator would want to produce the subject matter. Memories of Misled being removed a couple of days after it first went on sale in 2013 follow me. It has left me a little guarded.

However, I live by the creed if you don't ask, you don't know, AND if you try and fail, at least you've tried. Therefore, I sucked in my reservations and started the process.

I used my amazon account to sign in to ACX.com, the site akin to KDP, only for audio. Listing the book took 20 minutes, tops. You do a search on Amazon for the book in question. Once you find your title, a screen pops up and gives your 3 options. Of course, I chose the I'm looking for someone to narrate option. That meant, I had to put my book up for audition. There are a few more steps, including uploading an audition script, then the full manuscript, and a cover. Within a day, I'd gotten a response. I was as excited then as I am now. I chose the royalty share option, which splits all royalties 50/50 with one narrator.

You might be wondering why I'm speaking of the business side of the process. First of all, because I'm excited. Second, there may be authors out there who want to have their books turned into an audiobook. Third, there may be someone who would like to become a narrator. ACX.com is the place to go.

WOW! Misled is on audio! I can't stop smiling. Even if I am totally and completely lost. LOL. Promoting an audiobook is almost the same as doing the same for an ebook or print book. Right? Not so fast. Audiobooks aren't for everyone. On the other hand, in this fast-paced, crazy world we live in, the audiobook market is a growing one. What better way to reap the benefits of a good book? We can listen to the words while we perform other tasks.

My wonderful narrator is Sam Valor. I will post an interview with him, at a later date. He narrated all of Misled well within the deadline. Then, ACX.com took over and performed quality checks. I spent all of last week trying to figure out how to mix music and clips of the book for a trailer. It took my DAYS to figure it out. Now, I'm thinking of creating one or two more with different clips. I chose what I did because Outlaw meeting Meggie was a pivotal moment. My journey marches on. Today, I received codes to give out as promotion tools or for review copies. I signed up to the ACX Blog. Best of all, Misappropriate is well on the way of Audiobook Land.

Misled has its own 30-Day Free trial page, If you would like your FREE copy, click here --> FREE Misled Audiobook

Maybe, I'm not so lost, after all.

Love always,

Kat

About the Authors:
AJ Downey

She has lived many places and done many things though mostly through her own imagination… An avid reader all of her life it’s now her turn to try and give back a little, entertaining as she has been entertained. She lives in a small apartment in a small neighborhood with a larger than life fiancé and two cats.

Ariel Marie
Ariel Marie is an author who loves the paranormal, action and hot steamy romance. She combines all three in each and every one of her stories. For as long as she can remember, she has loved vampires, shifters and every creature you can think of. This even rolls over into her favorite movies! She love a good action packed thriller! Throw a touch of the supernatural world in it and she’s hooked!

She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio where she currently resides with her husband and three beautiful children.

Avelyn Paige
Avelyn Paige is a born and raised Indiana girl. While she may be a Hoosier by birth, she is a Boilermaker by choice. Boiler Up! She resides in a sleepy little town in Indiana with her husband and three crazy pets. Avelyn spends her days working as a cancer research scientist and her nights sipping moonshine while writing and book reviewing. Avelyn loves everything paranormal, Cajun culture, and wants to try tornado chasing as a hobby when she finally grows up. She just has to get over that pesky fear of thunderstorms first.

Avelyn also enjoys collecting voodoo dolls from her trips to New Orleans.

B.B. Blaque
I write beautifully flawed characters who ultimately find, perfection is not a prerequisite. Our flaws are what make us unique and some flaws compliment each other better than others.
I love BDSM (Male dominant/female submissive.) There's something that just feels so right about a man wearing the pants (especially when he wears them well and fills them nicely.) I am interested in the psychological aspects of relationships in general and especially when there is a power-exchange dynamic.
My world would stopping revolving if not for heavy rock music (and the wonderfully talented people who make it.) Music and it's makers will definitely be strongly visible in my work. I listen, I remember...I listen, I'm inspired...to write...to love...to f**k...to live.

Carson Mackenzie
Carson lives in the South with her two sons, her three Great Danes, and the adopted shelter dog that keeps everyone in line. Books have always been a part of her life. Nothing is better to Carson than curling up and relaxing with a good story by losing herself in someone else’s world while leaving hers behind.
Writing stories and growing as an author with each book published, is a goal Carson wishes to reach. Her aspiration is to have a reader know when they see her name on a cover, they can trust in the fact there will be a good story as they flip the pages.
As an author, she hopes to bring you into her different worlds, giving you a chance to escape everyday responsibilities if only for a few hours.

Emma James
Emma loves writing hearts and flowers romance as much as she loves taking a walk on the dark side, writing in both contemporary romance and dark suspense. Love is always only a happily-ever-after away, even if sometimes it is a little twisted getting there. She lives life positively with writing, reading, music, and photography being her passions.

The important things she needs to surround herself with are family, friends, and furry creatures. She loves giving hugs as much as receiving them and winding down with good food, good friends, and a nice drink of the alcoholic variety when she pops her head out of her writing cave.

Be who you want to be and keep jumping those hurdles. They are only put in front of us to keep us on our toes.

Peace, love and live life.

Erin Trejo
I am a wife, mother, child chauffeur and author. I love being able to create different characters and spin a web that makes them come together in the end. My books do not stick to just one genre, they span many.
I write about things that are real life situations and fairy tales are not always smooth sailing. My MC books are hard and gritty and they have struggles just like you would in life.

I also have books that are not so in your face. There are several that are good love stories that are fraught with issues that the characters have to deal with.

Geri Glenn
Geri Glenn is the Amazon best-selling author of the Kings of Korruption MC series. She lives in beautiful New Brunswick, Canada and is a mom to two beautiful, but slightly crazy little girls. Geri has been an avid reader for as long as she can remember. She can usually be found curled up in a comfy chair, reading on her iPad both day and night. Geri is an incurable night owl, and it's not uncommon for her to still be awake, reading at 4 am, just because she can't put the book down.

Geri loves all genres of fiction, but her passion is anything romantic or terrifying; basically anything that can get her heart pumping. This passion has bled out onto her laptop, and became the Kings of Korruption.

Writing the first book in the series knocked off the #1 thing on Geri's bucket list, and publishing it has been an absolute dream come true. She hopes you all love the Kings as much as she does.

GM Scherbert
Author GM Scherbert was born on a brisk late April morning. She grew up in a small town in the Midwest but, quickly decided that was not the life for her. She quickly moved away for college and thought better of returning to that small town on a long term basis. City living is the life for her.
Her day job working with people on the Autism spectrum keeps her on the go most of the time. That is when her two small daughters and husband are not pulling her in different direction.
Author GM Scherbert is the kind of gal who is quirky, unique, smutty, hard to hate, harder to love. She has taken her love for telling stories to the next level by putting her hat in the romance writing game. If you are interested in romance with twists and some darker themes Author GM Scherbert will be right up your alley.

Harley McRide
There is nothing better in this world than being an author! I have an amazing supportive family, I have three children, one boy and two girls. They are the lights of my life along with my husband whom I adore. Without their support I would not have become a writer!

Jacqueline M. Sinclair
Jacqueline grew up in the rural southeast and is the youngest child of a large and rowdy family. Reading was an escape when there wasn't much else around to do. She loves everything from classical literature to true crime and everything in between. With her two children grown and gone, she's surrounded by a menagerie of adopted pets and a two-legged thief who refused to give her heart back after a night of karaoke.

With a day job and a dream job, her writing is a steamy combination of real life and seeking to answer the age-old question of what would happen if...and then characters come along and completely derail the plan. Letting them have their say provides plenty of sleepless nights and an endless combination of coffee and wine, but she hopes you enjoy their stories.

Kathleen Kelly
Kathleen Kelly was born in Penrith, NSW, Australia. When she was four her family moved to Brisbane, QLD, Australia. Although born in NSW she considers herself a QUEENSLANDER!!
She married her childhood sweetheart and they live in Toowoomba with their two furry kids. A British Short Hair named Grace and a Burmese named Jack.
Kathleen enjoys writing contemporary, romance novels with a little bit of erotica. She draws her inspiration from family, friends and the people around her. She can often be found in cafes writing and observing the locals.
If you have any questions about her novels or would like to ask Kathleen a question she can be contacted via e-mail: kathleenkellyauthor@gmail.com or she can be found on Facebook. She loves to be contacted by those that love her books.

Kat Kelly
Kat Kelly is living her dream and writing books. She's always been an avid reader and still devours books in her spare time. She also enjoys football, socializing, music, eating, and jokes. In her head, she's the ultimate biker babe. In reality, she's an ordinary girl-next-door and a native New Orleanian. Since the release of Misled in December 2013, she’s been living her dream of writing books. In August 2015, her life took a dramatic turn with the diagnosis of Stage 2B HER2 Positive Breast Cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy, lymph node removal, and breast reconstruction in February 2016. The support of her family, friends, and fans helped her to stay strong and keep her head up. #F*ckCancer became her rallying cry. Now located in the Houston area, she is once again cancer free. Her hair is growing back and her nails are returning to normal. Currently, she is plotting her next book.

Liberty Parker
I have been an avid reader for most of my life. When I was younger I use to sit and fill spiral notebooks full of stories for my grandmother. As I got older I took the jobs needed for raising my boys as a single mom until I met my now amazing husband. I have stopped working in the last three years and started promoting authors, then I blogged and reviewed for authors, which lead me down the path to writing and creating characters and stories. I love creating behind the scenes with my writing getting to use my imagination and write the story as it comes to me.I am loving the people I am meeting and the support system I have found.

Shelly Morgan
I grew up in a small town in Iowa. I have 2 older sisters and amazing parents. Growing up, I was always a daddy’s girl, hanging out with him in the garage, fishing, and building stuff. I loved to play softball and swimming, but reading, telling stories, and writing were my passion, even at a young age. I took a break from writing for a while, but you could always find me with a book in my hand.

I have three children – two boys and a girl. They are my whole world. Even when I’m having the worst day ever, they brighten up my day and make me smile.

A few years ago, there was this story that would always play out in my head and no matter how many times I went through it, from beginning to end, it would never fade. So I decided to put it on paper. I didn’t plan on publishing it, but when it was almost done, a friend asked to read it. She said it was a story that needed to be shared. And that’s what started my writing career.

I love all genres of books, and even though I started with writing MC Romance, I have a whole book of ideas, so you can expect more from me than just MC, though romance is in my blood.

Even though I currently work two jobs, my ultimate dream is to become a full time author. I want to be able to spend my days filling pages with stories. I want to be the reason people find a reason to smile or laugh from lines on a page. Reading a book allows me to live in someone else’s shoes, even if only for a few minutes. It’s a way to leave my life and troubles behind and I want to be help others do that as well.

Vera Quinn
I have always been an avid reader and have had an active imagination. When my sister became sick in 2015 I spent a lot of time in doctor offices and hospital rooms. I filled that time reading. My kindle and laptop became my good friends. I started writing storylines and doing background research.
My sister convinced me to follow my dream so I did and the rest is history.
My sister passed in February 2016 and I published my first book, Never Forever, in March 2016.
I say I am learning as I go and that is true. I've been lucky to make good friends in the indie book community and I work with some of the best. I don't know what is next but I am excited to meet it head on.
I have been married to my husband, Charles, for 22 years and he is my rock. I have two grown sons

Love is always only a happily-ever-after away, even if sometimes it is a little twisted getting there. She lives life positively with writing, reading, music, and photography being her passions.

The important things she needs to surround herself with are family, friends, and furry creatures. She loves giving hugs as much as receiving them and winding down with good food, good friends, and a nice drink of the alcoholic variety when she pops her head out of her writing cave.

Be who you want to be and keep jumping those hurdles. They are only put in front of us to keep us on our toes.

Peace, love and live life.

Erin Trejo

I am a wife, mother, child chauffeur and author. I love being able to create different characters and spin a web that makes them come together in the end. My books do not stick to just one genre, they span many.
I write about things that are real life situations and fairy tales are not always smooth sailing. My MC books are hard and gritty and they have struggles just like you would in life.

I also have books that are not so in your face. There are several that are good love stories that are fraught with issues that the characters have to deal with.

Geri Glenn

Geri Glenn is the Amazon best-selling author of the Kings of Korruption MC series. She lives in beautiful New Brunswick, Canada and is a mom to two beautiful, but slightly crazy little girls. Geri has been an avid reader for as long as she can remember. She can usually be found curled up in a comfy chair, reading on her iPad both day and night. Geri is an incurable night owl, and it's not uncommon for her to still be awake, reading at 4 am, just because she can't put the book down.

Geri loves all genres of fiction, but her passion is anything romantic or terrifying; basically anything that can get her heart pumping. This passion has bled out onto her laptop, and became the Kings of Korruption.

Writing the first book in the series knocked off the #1 thing on Geri's bucket list, and publishing it has been an absolute dream come true. She hopes you all love the Kings as much as she does.

Author GM Scherbert is the kind of gal who is quirky, unique, smutty, hard to hate, harder to love. She has taken her love for telling stories to the next level by putting her hat in the romance writing game.

Harley McRide

There is nothing better in this world than being an author! I have an amazing supportive family, I have three children, one boy and two girls. They are the lights of my life along with my husband whom I adore. Without their support I would not have become a writer!

Jacqueline M. Sinclair

Jacqueline grew up in the rural southeast and is the youngest child of a large and rowdy family. Reading was an escape when there wasn't much else around to do. She loves everything from classical literature to true crime and everything in between. With her two children grown and gone, she's surrounded by a menagerie of adopted pets and a two-legged thief who refused to give her heart back after a night of karaoke.

With a day job and a dream job, her writing is a steamy combination of real life and seeking to answer the age-old question of what would happen if...and then characters come along and completely derail the plan. Letting them have their say provides plenty of sleepless nights and an endless combination of coffee and wine, but she hopes you enjoy their stories.

Kat Kelly

Kat Kelly is living her dream and writing books. She's always been an avid reader and still devours books in her spare time. She also enjoys football, socializing, music, eating, and jokes. In her head, she's the ultimate biker babe. In reality, she's an ordinary girl-next-door and a native New Orleanian. Since the release of Misled in December 2013, she’s been living her dream of writing books. In August 2015, her life took a dramatic turn with the diagnosis of Stage 2B HER2 Positive Breast Cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy, lymph node removal, and breast reconstruction in February 2016. The support of her family, friends, and fans helped her to stay strong and keep her head up. #F*ckCancer became her rallying cry. Now located in the Houston area, she is once again cancer free. Her hair is growing back and her nails are returning to normal. Currently, she is plotting her next book.

Liberty Parker

I have been an avid reader for most of my life. When I was younger I use to sit and fill spiral notebooks full of stories for my grandmother. As I got older I took the jobs needed for raising my boys as a single mom until I met my now amazing husband. I have stopped working in the last three years and started promoting authors, then I blogged and reviewed for authors, which lead me down the path to writing and creating characters and stories. I love creating behind the scenes with my writing getting to use my imagination and write the story as it comes to me.I am loving the people I am meeting and the support system I have found.

Shelly Morgan

I grew up in a small town in Iowa. I have 2 older sisters and amazing parents. Growing up, I was always a daddy’s girl, hanging out with him in the garage, fishing, and building stuff. I loved to play softball and swimming, but reading, telling stories, and writing were my passion, even at a young age. I took a break from writing for a while, but you could always find me with a book in my hand.

I have three children – two boys and a girl. They are my whole world. Even when I’m having the worst day ever, they brighten up my day and make me smile.

A few years ago, there was this story that would always play out in my head and no matter how many times I went through it, from beginning to end, it would never fade. So I decided to put it on paper. I didn’t plan on publishing it, but when it was almost done, a friend asked to read it. She said it was a story that needed to be shared. And that’s what started my writing career.

I love all genres of books, and even though I started with writing MC Romance, I have a whole book of ideas, so you can expect more from me than just MC, though romance is in my blood.

Even though I currently work two jobs, my ultimate dream is to become a full time author. I want to be able to spend my days filling pages with stories. I want to be the reason people find a reason to smile or laugh from lines on a page. Reading a book allows me to live in someone else’s shoes, even if only for a few minutes. It’s a way to leave my life and troubles behind and I want to be help others do that as well.

Vera Quinn

I have always been an avid reader and have had an active imagination. When my sister became sick in 2015 I spent a lot of time in doctor offices and hospital rooms. I filled that time reading. My kindle and laptop became my good friends. I started writing storylines and doing background research.
My sister convinced me to follow my dream so I did and the rest is history.
My sister passed in February 2016 and I published my first book, Never Forever, in March 2016.
I say I am learning as I go and that is true. I've been lucky to make good friends in the indie book community and I work with some of the best. I don't know what is next but I am excited to meet it head on.
I have been married to my husband, Charles, for 22 years and he is my rock. I have two grown son.

Monday, February 6, 2017

Friday evening, I received the news I've been waiting for--the new mass is scar tissue forming and not cancerous! I released the breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding. In my heart, I knew it WASN'T malignant. Somewhere in the back of my mind, however, I was scared and a nervous wreck. I suppose that's the reason I cried for two days when it was first found.

Having said that, blood tests showed my thyroid is once again low. That contributes to depression, low energy, and weight gain. My Vitamin D is once again low. That contributes to low energy. My testosterone is high. That contributes to weight gain in women as well as hirsutism, an abundant growth of hair...WAIT! there is a bright spot. I can use more hair after losing it. 😝 In all seriousness, I've suffered with hirsutism and it isn't fun. It does affect self-esteem, but I couldn't resist the irony of losing all my hair only to have a condition that will have hair growing in places I'd prefer to have hair-free. You know what they say about being careful what you wish for. Ta-daaaaa....

No, NOT the one percenter outlaw biker or the one percenter super wealthy. I'm the OTHER one percenter. You know the one who has every side effect and complication one can get? Yeah, THAT one percent.

I've had pain and burning where the port was placed. As my doctor said, NO ONE has problems after the port is removed. Given the fact that I had problems when the port was placed, it's not all that surprising. That one-percenter list of complications is a long run and now a running joke between me and the doctor.

Added to this is I've developed tendinitis in my left ankle and I have another bad tooth since the chemo seems to have worked a number on my gums. The depression has been really bad, so, hopefully, the thyroid medicine helps. I've been a hot fucking mess these past few days.

But, alas! The news isn't all bad. Dirty Boy has been re-released via eXcessica Publishing. You can once again find it at all available sales outlets and it is also in paperback. Misfit (Cash, Fee, and Stretch) will also be re-released via eXcessica, so it will be pulled by me in two days and won't be available again until 2/17/2017. I'm finally getting everyone's winnings mailed off to them after what seems like forever. That means, I can resume This and That and giveaways. In all good faith, I couldn't do it until I was caught up with everyone's prizes. Death Dwellers: The Complete Series has been Underground Review Certified (http://bit.ly/2kFYtBN) Also, I'm working on a new book and the Patriots won the Superbowl. I'm a diehard Saints fan. When the boys in black and gold were in the NFC West division with the Falcons, Rams, and 49ers, there was a bitter rivalry between the teams, but especially the Saints and Falcons. It's just a holdover from those days, that made me root against Atlanta. Sorry, y'all, just keeping it real.

Do you ever watch a YouTube video and say to yourself, "hey, I'm going to try that even though I'm warned against it?" Well, in my case, it was, "Hey, I'm going to watch this because they said not to." Oh, how I wish I'd listened. On one of the many versions of Ten Things Not To Google, one suggestion was never, EVER look up 2 girls, 1 cup. Regrettably, I didn't listen. I won't ever make that mistake again. It's a scat fetish porn video and it is the most DISGUSTING shit ever (pun intended). Who would do that? I need brain bleach, eye bleach...just fucking BLEACH to get those images out of my head.

Finally, I know there have been questions about the next generation of Death Dwellers. Yes, will do books on CJ and Harley, Rebel and Diesel, and Rory and an outside girl. I might do Matilda. I'm not sure yet. Christopher, Johnnie, Val, Mort, and Digger will still be in their positions. Basically, their sons will be in training to take over in the future. I really want CJ's book to come out on the anniversary of the release date of his father's book, which is in December. However, I do have a Valentine's Day story featuring Meggie and Christopher that I'd like to do. I thought of it too late to release this year. As CJ is only five or six in this idea, I will probably release the books as follows--the Valentine's Day story in February 2018. It will have 'Mis' in the title. The next generation will not. I haven't decided names yet. Suggestions are welcome. Rebel and Diesel's book will be in April or May 2018; Rory's book will be in August or September, and CJ's book will release on December 5, 2018. I know you guys are tired of the Death Dwellers, so I promise it'll be at least a year before you see them again. I do miss them. I think that's the reason it's taking me so long to finish the first draft of the new book. I do have Breakfast, Bedlam, and BDSM almost ready to release. It is completely different from ANY book I've ever written. It has little to no angst, no violence, and very little sex. I just wanted to try something different.
